There comes a moment when you realize the way you have been coping is no longer working, no matter how hard you try to push through.

Maybe you feel stuck in patterns that do not match the life you want. You want things to feel different in your relationships, your body, your choices, your day to day life.

You want to stop escaping, stop overthinking, and feel more connected to yourself, more at peace. You are looking for real change and you want a therapist who can help you become more confident, more self aware, and ready to truly transform.

Together we'll look beneath the stress and old patterns to understand what's really going on and build a plan that works for you. I use tools like EMDR, somatic work, CBT, DBT, and inner child work when they are helpful, and we move at a pace that feels right. My approach is warm and direct, and is meant to help you feel more in control of your life.

My hope is that from the very first call, you feel comfortable, understood, and clear on what working together could look like. If you're looking for a safe place to explore what's next and move toward the life you want, I'd love to support you when you are ready.

Therapy has helped me gain confidence to make choices for the life I want to live. With care and patience, Mattie has helped me learn to trust myself, face my fears, and navigate hard moments.
My son and I had such a great experience working with Mattie. We navigated a time of transition with him as a young adult/college student and dove into root causes for the dynamics we were experiencing. He had no prior belief in therapy, but working with Mattie allowed him to see the value in having a safe place to be honest and open. We accomplished our goals and look forward to future check-ins to maintain our progress together.
Mattie is an excellent therapist. She is definitely one of the best that I've seen, and there were many; she also remains professional at all times.
Mattie was there for me during a difficult time in my life. I felt heard. I'm glad that she could understand and validate me while also challenging my beliefs and helping me grow. I'm appreciative that she not only listened, but was able to help me move through my issues using a variety of therapeutic techniques. Mattie made a lot of personalized recommendations that have made my life richer and more peaceful.
Mattie helped me through some difficult times in my life. She was a very understanding and reassuring presence. I can't recommend her enough.
